The wealth of the world’s richest 1% has surged by over $33.9 trillion in the last decade. And a child born today will face an estimated four times as many extreme weather events as someone born in 1960. What do wealth, poverty, and climate change have in common? An upward trajectory, according to Amitabh Behar and Mads Christensen, who teamed up for “The Planet Can’t Afford Billionaires.” Read the article via @time:

Did y'all hear?

Another Insurance CEO was almost killed at his home.

Is it a policy to not post news about copycats? (Which is a common policy) Or is it that they don't want overwhelming public support for it again?

"The home of State Accident Insurance Fund Corporation (SAIF) CEO Chip Terhune in Lake Oswego, near Portland, was shot up in the early hours of Feb. 21, the Lake Oswego Police Department said Wednesday."

In my opinion, it's not that they fear another CEO's death. CEOs are replaceable. It's that they don't want another anti-hero in the news.

EDIT: Replies are arguing based on the term "anti-hero" without acknowledging the definition of the word, confusing it with the term hero.
Here's the definition of anti-hero: An "antihero" is a main character in a story who lacks the typical heroic qualities like strong morals, selflessness, and idealism, often making questionable decisions while still being the protagonist.

Would the news sharing this information make the suspect in the story a main character? Yes.
Would this person possibly be applauded because it mirrors other recent events? Yes.
Does that term mean we think the person is a hero? No. That's literally not the definition.

Before telling someone to "do their research" or the like, try Googling (or using your preferred search engine) first.

Day 5 of posting about the coup on Linkedin. I can't begin to count the number of people in infosec LI who messaged privately to say keep going, nobody's talking about this here, this is important, etc. That's been nice.

But then also a lot of times when I check these peoples' timelines on LI it's like <crickets>. So that makes me a little sad. But then I think, self, you're in a much better position to piss off infosec LI than most, and that's to be expected. And that's a good thing.

Also, there are SO many people in or on the fringe of the infosec industry that have such horrible takes on why it is okay to break the law, flout the courts, the Constitution and Congress in the name of fighting "government fraud." As if that's not just a replacement for "election fraud," which likewise hasn't materialized. Anyway, I guess they're all on record as cheering the nazi parade, so there's that.

I'm generally not engaging in conversations with these cult followers, because never argue with an idiot, right? But I also don't want the same drones cluttering up my timeline with inanities and whataboutism. So my strong inclination is to block useful idiots, but then I think well why am I even here if I'm doing that? I did block some people though and it felt good.

As you can see, I am somewhat conflicted about this project.

“Spain will legalise about 300,000 undocumented immigrants per year over the next three years as it seeks to expand its labour force in the face of an ageing population, Migration Minister Elma Saiz told reporters.”

“’Spain has to opt between being an open, prosperous country or being a closed and poor one, and we have chosen the former,’ Saiz said.”

"Spain's economy is the fastest-growing in the EU."

"It turns out that if you put Elon Musk on the graph, almost the entire US population is crammed into a vertical bar, one pixel wide. Each pixel is $500 million wide, illustrating that $500 million essentially rounds to zero from the perspective of the wealthiest Americans."

Every time you hear the Reddit CEO talking about how they need to become profitable, remember they raised $250m and then spent the last couple years building this: https://nft.reddit.com
